Hi art bloggers. It is time to kick start the art blog project again after a lapse of 6 weeks.
NEws
The aim of this blog project is for art students in different locations to use the site to communicate with each other on an informal basis about things that interest them and motivate them.
As of tomorrow and next week artbloggers will be begin to join from the RMIT SOA location in Hong Kong and there has been interest from some Estonian students too. Also soon we are hoping for involvement fro Valencia, Spain and Mexico.
It was suggested today that perhaps different themes could be used to deliniate timelines for the project so I am nominating PLACE and IDENTITY a starters.
All you have to do is contact me
phil.edwards@rmit.edu.au
to be put on the list of people who may contributer and start blogging.I will need an emmail address (student one is enough) to add you to the contributers.
Then... Put on any ideas you have or photos.
Where do you artists come from? what is it like where you are? what do think about where you are? how does it affect your art?
Eventually after a month or 2 I will collate everything into abook to distribute to galleries and contributers.
If any one out there has an idea for an on-line blog art project or collaborative project go ahead and do it here. It is hoped that this site becomes a really interactive one for underrgrad artists to link up. communicate and have web shows.
Seen any good shows...any events?
got any ideas for themes?

I LOVE YOU DILLO PRESS RELEASE

I LOVE YOU DILLO

MEDIA RELEASE... SUNSHINE & GREASE...COLLAGE/DRAWINGS /PAINTING W.O.P....."I LOVE YOU LILLO"


Encouraged by Patrick O’Brien, Phil Edwards revisits his HARD RUBBISH series from the late 1990’s and extends it with his abstract drawings from the present. Continuing an experiment with intuitive drawing and painting that began with a residency at BUS in 2005, Edwards uses jumpy lines of primary colours and watercolour paint spinning out of the collage photo documentation of the ‘90’s to reinforce the synesthesia he has experienced between music and visual art.
Presented at Sunshine & Grease, which also holds a selection of his music CDs, including “Not Building” 2002 and “Bert Alphett and STUFFO Live at BUS” 2003, (with James Greig, John MacKinnon and Dave Collins), a partial loop of sorts occurs as his practice is once again located in the midst of one of the most energetic ARI’s in Melbourne.
